Isaiah 40:19-21
English Standard Version
19 (A)An idol! A craftsman casts it,
and a goldsmith overlays it with gold
and casts for it silver chains.
20 (B)He who is too impoverished for an offering
chooses wood[a] that will not rot;
he seeks out a skillful craftsman
to set up an idol that will not move.
21 (C)Do you not know? Do you not hear?
Has it not been told you from the beginning?
Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?
